Firefly Tee

$22.00

Fireflies light up the night in wet wooded areas and are common to Western New York. However, firefly populations have been declining. This is most likely due to development and light pollution. Light pollution is the brightening of the night sky caused by man-made light sources. Fireflies use their flashes to communicate with one another and the disruption of these signals impacts their life cycles.

This shirt depicts a firefly in a hand to symbolize the close connection many people have to these insects that light up the trees at night. For each purchase $1 will be donated to the Defenders of Wildlife, an organization dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities.
